No they aren't when majority of the P5-G5 match-ups are as


"meaningful" as a P5 playing a FCS school. What "value" does VT gain by scheduling future OOC games against MAC and/or Sun Belt schools? Heck you could even expand it to include C-USA, most AAC, and most WMC schools too.

VT currently has an open date on its 2022 schedule. Would you really want to see VT fill that slot with another game against Arkansas State or against another P5 program? VT already has the P5 requirement box checked because of its home game against WVU, so technically it doesn't need to play another P5 program that year.

  Not sure why ND would join if they still have access to CFP. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 11:29AM
  I believe ND joins after B12 dies -- Red Hokie 06/10/2016 11:40AM
  The Big 12 will survive to the end of there contract -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 11:59AM
  Agreed - a 4 conference champs only model is boring -- Colonel Jessup 06/10/2016 12:08PM
  Yes. CCG games would be good but they are now -- Colonel Jessup 06/10/2016 12:28PM
  Yes. CCG games would be good but they are now -- Colonel Jessup 06/10/2016 12:28PM
  Why pay to see a power conference school play -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 12:26PM
  If OOC games are meaningless there may be even more patsies -- Colonel Jessup 06/10/2016 12:34PM
  Okay then you really will be seeing 2nd, 3rd, 4th teamers -- Colonel Jessup 06/10/2016 12:47PM
  Like Notre Dame vs. UMass last year? ** -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 12:54PM
  These are two separate problems. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 3:39PM
  It's self evident that P6 games are better than G5 games. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 6:13PM
  Who says it won't count for anything? -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 9:56PM
  What this is a bit of a moving target now -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 12:55PM
  But they have to matter? If they don't matter why watch -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 1:22PM
  Who says these marquee OOC games wouldn't still matter? -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 1:45PM
  If the playoff is expanded, all this conversation is moot. -- Maroon Baboon 06/10/2016 3:06PM
  If a coach is not playing for the "consolation bracket" -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 3:07PM
  Who said anything about trying to sell the game? -- VTHokie2000 06/10/2016 3:26PM
  I'm confused didn't you orginally state exhibition? -- goldendomer 06/10/2016 1:48PM
  Are you thinking 7 conference games... -- hokieball 06/10/2016 10:11AM
  While I would love this arrangement -- hokieone 06/10/2016 09:05AM
  This is why I like the 20 team model slightly more. -- hokieball 06/10/2016 09:33AM
  Thanks. I was just thinking out loud more or less -- hokieone 06/10/2016 09:36AM
